About Me

Name: Gabrielle Olexa

Age: 32

Location: Matthews, NC

Occupation: Mom/Housewife/Writer/Narrator/Editor

Once upon a time this blog was about a maniac gone awry and the interesting things she found and did. Then it became a blog detailing my life in China for a year. I tried to maintain it when I returned Stateside, and I did for a while, but I found life wasn't nearly as exciting. After much thought, I went back to China - this time for almost 3 years and you'll find several posts about that adventure. Now I am back in the good ole US of A(indefinitely) and my blog is mostly about how horrible of a writer I am because no one will publish my stories. I occasionally talk about my side projects - my audiobooks and the things I cook/bake up in the kitchen. And maybe one day it will be about being a mom because I can now share that experience. Who knows where this blog(or me for that matter) will be in five years, but I'll try to keep it entertaining.

Latest Video of a Maniac Gone Awry

I was reading through some of the Yahoo! news yesterday and came upon something very amusing. Apparently, pranksters have been hacking into electronic road signs and replacing the real warnings with things like “Daily lane closure due to zombies”, “Raptors ahead – caution”, and “Zombies in area. Run!”. So far it has happened in Collinsville, Illinois, Austin, Texas, and a county in Indiana.

Had I been an actual witness to any of these signs, I probably would have crashed my car laughing hysterically. I would so pay money to see something like that on my way to work. It would so break up the monotony of my day. You can read the rest of the article here.

Finding out Michael Phleps’ smoked up at the University I graduated from just isn’t good enough.
